The Elkins Park School Library Media Center (LMC) has an extensive collection of over 13,000 titles. With computer work stations connected to media resources, the LMC is designed to complement and maximize classroom instruction. During weekly visits and Reading Language Arts class sessions, students enjoy selecting new books and collaborating on multimedia projects and presentations. This hands-on environment is a hub of learning where Elkins Park School students utilize and develop independent skills as critical readers of fiction and non fiction.

Mr. Brian Costello holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Susquehanna University, and a Master’s degree in Language Arts and Children’s Literature from Arcadia University. Mr. Costello is certified in Library Science, Middle Level English, and English as a Second Language as well. He has worked in the Cheltenham School District since 2006, both as a second grade teacher at Cheltenham Elementary, and a fifth grade teacher at Elkins Park. While in the library, Mr. Costello provides individual, small group, and whole group instruction to the students of Elkins Park. He wants to empower students to become critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and skillful researchers. In addition to his love of books, Mr. Costello helps host the annual Elkins Park talent show, enjoys listening to music, watching basketball, and spending time with his family.
